Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ounces dried Spanish chorizo, casing removed, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
3/4 cup dry white wine
Freshly ground black pepper
4 pounds mussels, scrubbed, debearded
4 thick slices country-style bread, toasted
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon or parsley

Steps:

  • Heat chorizo and 2 tablespoons oil in a large heavy pot over medium, stirring occasionally, until chorizo begins to brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and fennel seeds and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and wine and bring to a simmer; season with pepper. Cook until reduced by three-quarters, 6-8 minutes.
  • Add mussels. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until mussels open, 6-8 minutes. Discard any mussels that don't open. Drizzle toast with oil. Serve mussels topped with tarragon with toast alongside.

I made this dish with frozen mussels and they turned out great. I would definitely recommend using frozen mussels if you can't find fresh ones.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices to the broth.

I followed the recipe exactly and the mussels were overcooked. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.
